Section D: Summary of Findings/Comments:
1. According to the DMR reports reviewed for the period February 1995 through
January 1996, the plant's effluent was in compliance with the NPDES permit's
limits.
2. On the day of inspection, a grab sample of the effluent revealed a settleable solids.
level of less than .1 ml/ltr with a clear supernatant in the test vessel (Imhoff Cone).
3. J.S. Dismukes and Company is due to check the effluent flow meter in April 1995.
(The meter was last checked in April 1995.)
4. DMR and laboratory data agree (spot check - December 1995). The figure for fecal
coliform was reported as higher than it should have been because of a computation
error.
5. The facility has not generated any sludge lately because of a much lower flow than
is permitted. If sludge is generated, it is taken to the Robeson County Landfill.
6. Last year, .the Kenneth Green Company TV'D and rehabilitated some of the
collection system lines to partially remediate excessive I/I problems.
7. Hydrologic laboratory does the "outside" required analytical work. Red Springs
WWTP's analytical equipment is utilized in the facility's dissolved oxygen and pH
monitoring.
8. Required logs and records are being adequately maintained.
